Shelf life stability
Optimum flow characteristics
Easy dispersion in cold water
Rapid activation of ingredients
Viability following rehydration
BENEFITS
Less mold
Less heating
Improved stability
Less waste
Improved intake and performance
Improved production efficiency from field to milk tank
PACKAGE SIZES
Supplied in 165 g packages of water dispersable concentrate to treat 10 tonnes of hay.
QUALITY CONTROL
Products are independently tested to ensure manufacturing quality is maintained. Lallemand Animal Nutrition production facilities follow a strict Total Quality Management System to ensure product purity and quality.
All Biotal Forage Inoculants are manufactured at our facility in Milwaukee, WI under the following internationally recognized quality accreditation systems: ISO 9001: 2000; AIB GMP certification; AFIA Safe Feed / Safe Food Certification; FAMI-qs.
PRODUCT STORAGE AND APPLICATION
Store unopened packages in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration at or below 4° C is recommended. Shelf life is 18 months from date of manufacture when stored as recommended. Can be applied using any suitable applicator. Ensure that the applicator is properly cleaned and calibrated.
All Biotal Forage Inoculants include a proprietary blend of stabilizers to both maintain viability in the package and to enhance stability following rehydration of the product. Once rehydrated with potable (drinking quality) water, the product will maintain viability for 3-4 days in the applicator tank, when kept cool and out of direct sunlight.
Biotal Forage Inoculants are not affected by chlorine up to potable water standards (1 ppm).
Some of the essential product stabilizers are finely divided, insoluble powders (1-3% by weight). This may result in a small residue of fine white powder in the bottom of the applicator.
THE POWER COMES FROM WITHIN™
Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 was originally isolated and proven effective by forage researchers at the ID-DLO in Holland. It is registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) which conducted a thorough review of efficacy and safety data for the organism.
Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 consistently reduces heating and spoilage by yeasts and molds in a range of forages. Forages and Total Mixed Rations (TMRs) made with treated forages are more stable, meaning:
• Less waste
• More forage to feed
• Better hygienic feed quality
• Better intakes
Biotal® Buchneri Hay 40788 is a unique biological hay preservative. It is non-corrosive and safe to humans, animals, machinery and the environment.
DECREASED YEASTS & MOLDS
Timothy hay treated with Biotal Buchneri Hay 40788 had significantly lower yeast and mold counts than untreated and propionic treated hays 30 days after baling. Counts in the Biotal Buchneri Hay 40788 treated material decreased over the 30 days whereas counts in the other two hays increased.
MOLD INHIBITION
Timothy and alfalfa hays treated with Biotal Buchneri Hay 40788 had significantly lower mold levels than untreated hays
LOWER TEMPERATURES
Timothy hay baled in hard-core round bales at 17% moisture and treated with Biotal Buchneri Hay 40788 remained cooler than the untreated control throughout storage.
PROTEIN LEVELS RETAINED
At day 60, bales treated with Biotal Buchneri Hay 40788 had better protein retention; more protein available for your livestock in every bale.
